I. Grant of license
This Agreement permits you to use one copy of the Software acquired with this license on any
single computer ("OEM License"), provided the Software is in use on only one computer at any
given time. If you have acquired a multiple license for the Software, then at any one time you may
have in use up to as many copies of the Software as you have licenses. The Software is "in use"
on a computer when it is loaded into the temporary memory or installed into the permanent
memory (e.g. hard disk, CD ROM, or other storage device) of that computer, except that a copy
installed on a network server for the sole purpose of distribution to other computers is not
considered "in use". If the anticipated number of users of the Software might exceed the
authorized number of applicable licenses, then you must have a reasonable mechanism or
process in place to assure that the number of concurrent uses of the Software does not exceed
the number of licenses.
THE OEM LICENSE GRANTED HEREIN IS ONLY VALID IF ACQUIRED AS A BUNDLE WITH
CD/DVD-RECORDING HARDWARE.

The Software is owned by Nero or its licensors and is protected by copyright laws, international
treaty provisions, and other national laws. You agree that you have no right, title or interest in the

(a) make one copy of the Software solely for backup or archival purposes, or
(b) transfer the Software to a single hard disk provided you keep the original solely for backup or
archival purposes.

You may not rent or lease the Software, but you may permanently transfer your rights under this
Agreement provided that: (i) you transfer all copies of the Software and all written materials; (ii)
the recipient agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; and (iii) you remove any and all
copies of the Software from your computer and cease any further use of the Software. Any

licensing agreement will apply and you will receive the right to use the software obtained by
means of the update in accordance with the provisions of this software licensing agreement.
Should you purchase a software upgrade to a newer version, you will be entitled to use both the

Software) use WM-DRM to transfer or play Secure Content. If the WM-DRM Softwares security
has been compromised, owners of Secure Content (Secure Content Owners) may request that
Microsoft revoke the WM-DRM Softwares right to copy, display, transfer and/or play Secure
Content. Revocation does not alter the WM-DRM Softwares ability to play unprotected content. A
list of revoked WM-DRM Software is sent to your computer whenever you download a license for
Secure Content from the Internet. Microsoft may, in conjunction with such license, also download

revocation lists onto your computer on behalf of Secure Content Owners. Secure Content Owners
may also require you to upgrade some of the WM-DRM components distributed with this
Software (WM-DRM Upgrades) before accessing their content. When you attempt to play such
content, WM-DRM Software built by Microsoft will notify you that a WM-DRM Upgrade is required
and then ask for your consent before the WM-DRM Upgrade is downloaded. WM-DRM Software
used by third parties may do the same. If you decline the upgrade, you will not be able to access
content that requires the WM-DRM Upgrade; however, you will still be able to access unprotected
content and Secure Content that does not require the upgrade.
